Photos: Debate continues at this military base over whether a hockey rink and TGI Friday's represent democracy or decadence.
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — At $7, it may well be the most expensive kebab in Afghanistan, but "Gyros for Heroes" has definitely hit its mark as the slogan for the Kebab Shop, found inside NATO's largest military base in Afghanistan.
American, British, Dutch and Canadian troops line up around the block to buy gyros at the shop, one of a dozen or so businesses run by locals and foreign contractors occupying a dusty piece of real estate dubbed the "Boardwalk" near the heavily guarded Kandahar Airfield.
"Life here is good," said an Afghan laborer who declined to give his name as he lugged merchandise from his car to a store on the Boardwalk. "The prices we sell at are different to those out in the city."
That's quite an understatement, judging from some of the prices being asked: $40 for a box featuring intertwined Afghan and American flags on its cover; $50 for a carved wooden camel; $110 for a carpet with Kalashnikov and fighter jet patters woven in. And all this in a country where a civil servant's average monthly salary is $60.
And even more lucrative days lie ahead for the select group of well-connected Afghan salesmen overcharging the captive audience of 25,000 soldiers and contractors who occupy this sprawling base, fast becoming the nerve center of President Barack Obama's Afghan surge. The 5,000 extra soldiers and support staff scheduled to inhabit 90 acres of newly built, semi-permanent buildings this summer will find similar pleasures awaiting them at Kandahar.
While America's top general in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, has reportedly ordered the closure of several American franchises — suggesting that a focus on fast food and entertainment was a "distraction" from military duties — the remaining ones will be run by Afghans rather than the Pentagon's Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES).
It is all part of an "Afghan-first" policy that seeks to turn over Western management to Afghan businessmen, even as it retains well-known brand names such as Burger King and Pizza Hut — the familiarity of which the troops find comforting. Controversy has flared over whether the outlets are morale boosters for the troops or simply the ugly face of Western culture.
At the source of the controversy lies Kandahar Airfield's famous Boardwalk, a square kilometer of fast-food franchises, cafes, electronics stores, basketball and volleyball courts and — courtesy of the Canadians — a hockey rink. The Boardwalk acts as a magnet for the 25,000 personnel on base who every evening head there to sip coffees, play basketball or hockey and watch rock concerts. For some, the ambience is more beach than bunker.
No Afghans — other than those with special security clearance — can access the entertainment. Even if any local could just walk in off the street, they would balk at the $5 lattes and scantily clad servicewomen and female contractors crowding the Boardwalk or diving into the sand during volleyball games.
"I was expecting to arrive in a warzone but instead here I am wearing sunglasses in the sun and eating a baguette," said Dimitra Kokkali, a NATO contractor newly arrived from Brussels. "On my first night I surprised my family by calling them from an outdoor rock concert."
Last year, the famously Spartan McChrystal sent a team to Kandahar to investigate whether the Boardwalk was essential for maintaining troop morale. McChrystal is a former Special Forces commander who still runs eight miles a day, sleeps four hours and gets by on just one meal, a regimen seemingly at odds with the type of unbridled consumerism — and consumption — encouraged back home and transplanted to the Boardwalk.

In the concluding volume of The Master of Hestviken epic, Sigrid Undset combines an astonishing fidelity to the landscape, culture, and mores of thirteenth-century Norway with a timeless insight into the labyrinths of passion and bitterness, guilt and faith. As a young man, Olav Audunsson committed two murders for love. Now he has outlived his enemies and the woman he killed for. In the last years of his life, Olav must watch his grown children--and particularly his rebellious son Eirik--reenact the sins of his youth, with even more fearful consequences. Powerfully written and filled with magnificent vignettes of the daily life of a medieval estate, The Son Avenger suggests a Greek tragedy whose vision of fate coexists with a Christian sense of suffering and forgiveness.

Ride Control Snowboard
Solid Ride
I've been using a Control 158 for about 4 years now. It a solid ride and very sturdy. I am 5'9 and 175lbs and I have found this board to be very fast with wonderful edge control. With little maintenance I have kept it in top shape without having to bring it to a shop. Nothing wrong with the top sheet and the base is still going strong. Its dropped in all types of backcountry in Canada, Nevada, and Alaska!! (shreds the groomers here in Virginina =(
NOT A PARK BOARD!!! I have taken many spills on it attempting rails and jumps. The older model I use has limited pop, super stiff, and pretty hefty. Keep it on the groomers, or better, get into some untracked POW and float away!

DAKINE Cobra Glove - Men's
Good for skiing
I got these gloves when they first came out. So this review is alittle dated but read on.. I have had a great experience with these gloves and really cant complain much about them. They have kept my hands warm and dry for a few seasons. Fortunately enough none of the stitching has come undone. I will say the palm, leather portion, gets wet in the east coast snow and warmer weather. My hand has never gotten wet from it though. I bought them in white and with little to no problem they have stayed white with no washing or extra care!
I think that skiiers might have the best results with this glove because of the grippy surface on the palm and the padding on the backside of the hand. I'm a snowboarder who is very happy with dry warm hands and would reccoment these to anyone.

Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles

17 Reviews
This is actually about a service called Fashion Buddy...the website is www.fashionbuddy.net. I've had a great experience with it and it would be useful for anyone coming in from out of town who wants a guided tour of the shopping in LA. The service is customized to each client, the consultation is free, and you get to go shopping with someone who guide you to all the best stores and SALES in LA:)
For the trendy shoppers there is Melrose Avenue, where the trendy shops and restaurants are, located just a few block below Hollywood Blvd, - and it runs paralel with it. Then of course, there is THE Rodeo Drive, with all the highend fashions. You are likely to see the TMZ TV show paparazzi hanging out there waiting to catch a video clip of the stars. TMZ by the way, stands for The Movie Zone, - a term coined back in the 30s and 40s, which included all the major studios in Hollywood.
For those looking for bargain shopping, there is the Garment District, located on Los Angeles Street and Santee Street, where all the famous designer fashions are available for a fraction of the price.
What to buy:
Both men's and women's fashions, from bargain spots to high end and trendy shops.
What to pay:
From bargain prices in the Garment District to ultra expensive on Rodeo Drive
Merose Avenue is one of my favorite places to shop in LA. There is about 10 blocks (all east of Fairfax Ave) of women's (and a few men') clothing shops selling fashionable and cheap clothing similar to the designer clothing being sold for 10 times more at other locations. If you go west of Fairfax you start running into stores selling the real thing at 10 times the price.
Melrose Ave also has a few reasonably priced restaurants and coffee shops making it a great place to spend the afternoon and people watch. This is the area where all the young wanna be actor locals hang out. I've even see a few celebrities on the street - Wee Man from Jackass and Snoop Dog!
What to buy:
Cute tops and dresses at reasonable prices $15-$50.
Old Hollywood Glamour Boutique on upscale Melrose. Easy to park and no crowds here. Makeup Mandy offers the best products out there and even the hard to find brands from Europe. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and eager to please. I always leave with samples and information. Makeup Mandy is a great spot for gifts because the ladies will create a custom basket at no charge and no headache. you can call in your order and they do all the work including shipping and writting out your card. In addtion to fabulous beauty buys Makeup Mandy has cute pjs and home fragrance items.
What to buy:
Come for a tummy tuck, cellulite reduction, plum lips and flawless skin. Gifts for women or men.
What to pay:
Anywhere from $0 to $500...depends on how much of a beauty junky you are.
Over 160 vendors organized by Hollywoodish high schoolers characterizes this unique "only in California" experience. The Melrose Trading Post is a weekly run flea market on the lot of famed Fairfax School, the school of some Red Hot Chili Peppers and Phil Spector to name a few. There is a rock n roll kind of atmosphere at the market, judging by the young and hip crowd and area. Admission is $2, which benefits solely the youngsters of the local school district. So, feel proud knowing that the collectable watch or nice vinatge necklace you'll buy will go to a good cause.
What to buy:
vinatge items
modern and old-fashioned furniture
some antiques
music items
What to pay:
a few dollars, maybe a buck on an old collectable vinyl or a ragged doll
many dollars, like $30 for a classic rocking chair
will do individual shops soon, sometime more in depth tips!
What to buy:
a whole diversity of truly creative apparel, on the funky and hip side...
often featuring:
labels t-shirts and top with common pop culture symbols (i.e of superman symbol, old 70s and 80s shows, etc)
rock and roll shirts
leather jackets
jeams with rips
bohemian/hippie attire
gothic styles
What to pay:
from a few dollars to hundreds
In this very long street you'll find all sort of stores, and even very weird ones, for instance trendy little boutiques with storefronts done up in florescent colors,or sporting curious names!
Here is also where they say the stars shop, but I haven't met any there..
Filled with the trendiest clothing and accessories at affordable prices. The salesgirls are extremely helpful. Tell them you want an outfit similar to one of theirs, or tell them you want a military look (or whatever) and they will take care of everything! They will put entire outfits together, complete with accessories, for you to try. Little pressure to buy. Exchanges within 7 days. No refunds; store credit only.
Chock full of faux jewelry and hair accessories, prices are a little more than you'd find downtown at the Jewelry Mart, yet less expensive than at retail places.
What to buy:
Chandelier earrings, sequined barrettes, headbands, mini purses, etc.
What to pay:
Most everything seemed to be under $30.00.
i have been looking everywhere for the real jennifer lopez glass shoe. i found it at xtc on melrose. they have an article in bazzar magazine posted in the store, and j-lo says " my favorite shoes are from xtc and they are called "glass". AMAZING. they are so damn comfortable too. check out their site if you dont live in los angeles www.xtcshoes.com or go in 7603 melrose ave. you willl go crazy in there.
What to buy:
sexy shoes.
What to pay:
100-300 dollars.
Very colorful and outlandish...Melrose Av can be a tourist trap but there really are some very good shops located on this street. Granted most of the prices are slightly inflated but it's a good place to go to if you're into fashion and want to buy some of the latest clothes.
However, if shopping isn't you're thing, Melrose is a great place to people watch!!! Either grab coffee at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf or lunch at Johnny Rockets and see the people cruise buy in their pimped out rides, or alternately cruise on the sidewalks in some of the most outrageous outfits. Skimp style. Sundays seem to draw a crowd of the motor-cycle type caliber. Saturdays are when Melrose is at its busiest.
What to buy:
Great vintage stores...highly recommend are Slow and Aardvark. Go for the vintage Tees which are priced at relatively decent prices.
I like to go shopping here because you can get more unique items unlike the same old stuff at the malls.
What to pay:
Varies but bring lots of it.
Funky & unique aptly describe this collection of hand-made shoes. What initially caught my eye were the fabulous heel details. These shoes are built to last; they're constructed well and Alan himself told me that the wood is specially treated with a secret ingredient) so that they don't break. Believe me, these are shoes to paint the town in!!
What to pay:
His shoes begin in the $200 range.
If you're looking for something exotic (i.e. East Indian), this is the place! Not only do they carry women's clothing, but home furnishings (curtains, cushions, draping materials, etc.), jewelry, and incense.
What to buy:
They often have 2-for-1 sales (2 curtain panels or 2 cushions for the price of one). The women's clothing, particularly the wrap-around skirts and pants, are gorgeous. Oh, and pick up some bindi!
What to pay:
Curtain panels are in the $30-$50 range; skirts and pants are generally $20-$30.
Melrose Avenue - lots of individual shops at very non-Rodeo prices. There's lots of tacky, slut-wear, but there's much cool stuff to be purchased too.
Apparently the stars shop here too - Matthew Perry for one.
What to buy:
Clothes! Nothing but clothes!
What to pay:
Not as much as you would think!
This shop has some great vintage t's and jeans but it's highly overpriced. I did get two of my favorite t-shirts there, but I got home and realized that I had paid $50 each for them!
The girl that sold them to me was very cool, though. Hi Madeleine!
What to buy:
If you are looking for vintage stuff this is a good place, but definitely not the only place.
What to pay:
$50 per vintage t-shirt (though I think there were probably some that were less). Not sure how much the jeans were. There were some cool belt buckles too.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
I went to another store after the first store didn't give me futher discount on it. The CS did the PM right away and I applied for the Kohl's card. But they were having those scratch card and I only got 15%off card. So I used my own 20%off coupon printed from email. I am still happy with this. Thanks OP!! I've been waitting for a long time to get the mixer,now you made me happy
Thanks! Went to TM and got the ad then went to kolhs and got a mixer. Cashier called a manager over and wouldn't PM the home garden site siting physical ad. He thought he was done until I pulled out the m ad. Then he tries to find anything possible to deny me the PM. After bout 2 mins he gave in and gave it too me.
299.99 - 90 (30% coupon) - $50 (rebate) - $40 (kohls cash) + tax = $136.27 Totally makes up for being turned down multiple times last Christmas. |
Wow! Exactly the same as what I've been through. 2 stores + opening Kohl's card + scratch ticket 20% off Not as good as the 30% off, but it's obvious still better than none. |
Yes,the first store gave me such a hard time, she wanted me to get the exact model first since I picked a different color from what I printed from Home Garden. Then when I gave the right one to her, she kept checking and checking to match every single description said on Home Garden. At that time, I had a feeling that she didn't want to do the easy way. Finally she said ok, but then she said the 267.89 is the lowest she could give me and I can't use any other coupon. So I just said thank you and asked her name then left that store. The second store customer service didn't check too much, as soon as she heard that we would open a kohl's card, she was so happy to do it. After she did it, I filled out those " What do you think of us" card to give her good comment for her help. She was very happy with it. And I am happy too~~~~ |
I finally went to the store today to try by luck. I picked one up from the shelf & went straight to the check out. I showed her the print out from homeandgarden (I have the Tue Morning print out as backup) and she called the manager over to verify if she can do it. The manager looked at it for a sec. to make sure it's the same model # and said okay. It was that easy. I can't believe it! And, I applied for the Kohl's card & get additional 30% off (she said she can't stack it with my 20% coupon but she did give me an additional $10 discount for opening up a card). My total is $196.23 OTD with $30 Kohl cash and of course, I will get $50 back from the rebate. Thanks! OP.
Thanks OP, I went last night with the homeandgarden printout to price match. The cashier called the manager over and I could tell she didn't want to do it because she said, "you're saving almost $200." She went away for a while, and then called the cashier and told her to let me do it. I took the 20% off coupon on top of that and got the mixer for $214.31 (no sales tax). After rebate and $40 Kohl's cash $124.31 for an awesome mixer.
Home Garden is an online store so Kohl's in my area wouldn't honor it as I figured. Even with the Tuesday Morning's flyers, she told me the sale is not current without the ending date. I just went to a Tuesday Morning before Kohl's, so she finally agreed to pricematch. Then refused the 30% off coupon code and did scracth ticket instead. |
Yes, I bought both home garden and tuesday morning ad in case they don't honor the first. I think the 30%off opening kohl's card depends on location,maybe our area don't have this promo going on. I checked the Kohl's ad very carefully and I couldn't find anything saying when you open a kohl's card,you get 30%off. Anyway, my hubby is happy with the mixer too, he wanted to make sausage and hamberger meat by himself Now I have to look for the attachments deal. |
I had a 5qt kitchenaid which I bought at Kitchen etc. before they went out of business for $176 total so I have alot of attachments including the sauage stuffer and the grinder kit. My mother-in-law has a 4.5 qt I tried to make sauage on hers I noticed it's under powered, it's faster just by hand. Now I have the 6qt with 575 watts I will start to make more sausages and bread. |
Today on the way home I stopped by another Kohl's right off the highway, this time they let me pricematch with Home Garden's sale price and didn't stop me using the 30% coupon code. so I got one for $199.24 after tax, with additional $30 Kohl's cash and $50 mail-in rebate. so the total would end up to under $120. I guess there is no guidelines to how to take the discount, it all depends on the sales person. Sometimes try one more time you will see the big difference. Good luck! |
I don't have a coupon for 30%off, will they let me put it in the system by telling them the code? So you have to return the other one and keep this one,right?Thanks again for telling me this. Mine is $115 after the rebate and kohl's cash now since I used like $28 GC
I am wondering whether I used my $40 Kohl's cash to buy the attachement Last edited by lylmion; 09-17-2012 at 12:37 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
Here is the 30% off coupon code: http://www.fatwallet.c Good luck! |

High School Football Game Marred by Atrocious (Non)Tackling
There are fewer things that drive football coaches crazier than poor tackling, so if you are one prepare for your blood to boil.
There are fewer things that drive football coaches crazier than poor tackling, so if you are one prepare for your blood to boil.
Two familiar franchises battle in the National League Championship Series, and two upstart teams clash in the American League Championship Series. Here's a preview of both matchups:
Football and adrenaline go together like football and the 4-3 defense.
The Liberian man who was diagnosed last month with Ebola, the first such case in the United States, died Wednesday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.
The Oakland Raiders stink. And the antics of newly-hired interim coach Tony Sparano will only make them more of a laughingstock.
Russell Wilson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, as the Seattle Seahawks held off the Washington Redskins, 27-17, in Landover, Md. on Monday night.
Fights at NFL games are as much a part of the experience as touchdowns and overpriced beer, but this one is particularly frightening.
After just five weeks into the 2014 NFL season, every team has a loss on its record. Here are the most interesting things we learned in Week 5:
The Kansas City Royals and Baltimore Orioles each swept their respective American League Division Series on Sunday to advance to the American League Championship Series.
For the first time in college football history, five of the top eight teams in the AP poll all lost. And that was just the beginning of this week's craziness.

Gesundheit!: KDE 4.3.4 Code-Named "Cold"
The KDE Software Compilation 4.3.4 release freezes the features for the upcoming 4.4, hence the code-name.
The last release in the 4.3 Software Compilation (SC) series provides a handful of bugfixes, such as in the Okular document viewer and the Marble desktop atlas software. Okular now actually stops the search when clicking the X button in the Find bar and Marble shows the correct altitude in navigation mode. The KGpg interface for GnuPG now recognizes passphrases with non-ASCII characters.
The first beta for the KDE SC 4.4 is scheduled for December 4, according to Sebastian Kügler. Further fixes for 4.3 are in the changelog, which includes links to the SVN entries. The project suggests 4.3.4 as a "recommended upgrade for everyone running 4.3.3." Source downloads and installation guidelines are available in the product announcement.

Who wants Jonathan Bernier?

From a Toronto perspective, you want to pass on the notion of trading for Bernier simply because he's so unproven and instead shoot for a guy in his mid-late 20s, but it is tough to completely pass up on the potential outright.
I think the offer would be in the ballpark of Scrivens, MacArthur, and a mid-round pick... with some room to swap pieces of similar importance to the Leafs in/out.... however I have a tough time believing that would be the best offer for Bernier.
To me, the ideal destination for him might be a team like the Blue Jackets. They're in a position where they have to have a long term outlook, and I think they've realized that Mason isn't going to be that guy. However, it'll certainly be tough to justify giving up more than they did for Bobrovski. Calgary, Anaheim, Minnesota, and Winnipeg might have some merit as well.

Fantasy football online registration is now officially open! All campers and staff members interested in participating needs to sign up here.
While Camp Airy just ended for the Summer 2014 season, the NFL season is about to get underway in a few short weeks! All campers and staff from 2014 are invited to participate in the brand new Airy Game Spot Fantasy Football League. It is completely free to play and gives your son a chance to win some cool prizes while also keeping in touch with his friends at camp.
In order to finalize his registration process, we need him to sign-up in two places. If your son is under the age of 14, you will need to sign him up.
1. Create a username at NFL.com. This is our platform.
When you go to NFL.com: Hover over the Fantasy Football logo at the top of the page. Click on Sign-In Click "Register Now"
2. Go to airygamespot.com and do the following:
Find the Fantasy Football box and click on it. This takes you to the airygamespot registration page. Give us his name. Click that he's a camper. Provide us an e-mail or two he wants as his primary contact - whether his, yours, or both. Give us his username for NFL.com. Give us his Bunk # from this past summer.
The last step is he will have the option to play as an individual or a group. Here's what that means: Individual: Manage your own team Group: Manage a team with Camp Airy friends. If he clicks on group, we will ask for the full names of the friends that are managing the team with him. You can click both Individual and Group, which means that your son will have 2 teams - one with friends, and one that is his own team.
Note: The deadline to register is Monday, August 25. After that date, all the teams will be placed into a league at which point your son will receive information on the draft time. If you have any login or registration problems, send an e-mail to the Camp Airy Fantasy Football Commissioner, Andrew Rosendorf (firstname.lastname@example.com). We look forward to seeing you on the virtual playing field!

You'll be one of the few outsiders at this Waianae Coast beach at the very end of the road. If it weren't for the little strip of paved road, it would feel like a deserted isle: no stores, no houses, just a huge sloping stretch of beach and some of the darkest-blue water off the island. Locals come here to fish and swim in waters that are calm enough for children in summer. Early morning brings with it spinner dolphins by the dozens just offshore. Though Makua Beach up the road is the best spot to see these animals, it's not nearly as beautiful or sandy as "Yokes." Amenities: showers; toilets; parking (no fee). Best for: solitude, sunset, swimming.

Do Canadians really say 'aboot'?
What explains Americans' insistence that Canadians all say "aboot"? According to York University linguistics professor James Walker, what our southern neighbours notice is called "Canadian raising," which gives certain words a funny sound — at least to American ears.
That said, we're not the only ones with strange tics. After all, in some parts of the United States you have to drink cwah-fee in the morning.

- Enrollment surges in IT M.Ed. program
- Online modality meets rising demand for teachers skilled in technology integration
For Coastal's instructional technology faculty, moving their graduate program 100% online was a logical response to a growing adult learner market. "It's not rocket science," declared Dr. Jeremy Dickerson, M.Ed. coordinator, "we listened to our partner districts, acknowledged a national trend and modified our program accordingly." The original degree design was hybrid, with five core classes online and five specialization classes on campus. In its first year, fourteen students enrolled, all teachers interested in developing advanced skills integrating technology into their professional practice.
The horizon shifted completely when the program went entirely online in its second year, producing 44 graduates this past May. "The college of education has surveyed regional teacher preferences for almost ten years," said Dickerson, "and their responses have aligned consistently with modality findings articulated in national reports - teachers increasingly want professional development opportunities delivered online."
Enrollments in the Instructional Technology program have now climbed to over 200 students, with many following a one-year matriculation cycle tracked over two semesters and a summer, and others choosing a two-year schedule. "What we have noticed over time," said program faculty member Dr. Joe Winslow, "is that moving the M.Ed. program online has drastically reduced the amount of time it takes graduate students to complete their degree, not because it's easier, but because it's more accessible." Concerns about modality rigor are misplaced, he continued, "there is ample scholarly evidence that validates online learning as comparable or better then classroom learning in some disciplines," citing a 2014 research report on online college students as one of many supporting documents. "The best practices in online pedagogy are now well known, so we've adapted our instruction to accommodate these methods in the modality that teachers prefer."
No doubt the popularity of the program is also augmented by institutional support in the form of discounted tuition for full-time South Carolina teachers, an incentive that was recently extended statewide to compete with other institutions. "Today's teachers have choices," noted Dickerson, "and to compete against larger brands, our strategy is to package our curriculum as value-based. Our students receive high quality instruction at a great rate, completely online."
For more information about the M.Ed. program, or to apply, please contact the Office of Graduate Studies.

Qun'mi Tru'e
this wiki
Is this the best the Dominion has to offer?
- —Qun'mi
Qun'mi Tru'e (クンミ・トゥルーエ, Kunmi Turūe?) is a non-player character in Final Fantasy Type-0. A recent l'Cie of Byakko, she is a confident woman who draws out the power of weapons in battle in conjunction with her Magitek mech Dainsleif.
According to the Crimson Codex, Qun'mi is 24 years old and 160cm tall.
Final Fantasy AgitoEdit
In Final Fantasy Agito, Qun'mi invades the Magic Academy.
Final Fantasy Type-0Edit
Leading an invasion squad against the Vermillion Peristylium, Qun'mi uses the Crystal Jammer to disable the Peristylium's defenses as she holds the city hostage for Cid Aulstyne. But she encounters resistance when confronted by Machina Kunagiri and Rem Tokimiya in battle. She uses Dainsleif's Crystal Jammer to put the pair at a disadvantage and easily overpowers them, before entering the Magitek mech to finish them off. However, Ace, Seven, and Jack come to their aid, summoning Odin to cripple Dainsleif. After the three Class Zero members do further damage to the Magitek, Dainsleif explodes with Qun'mi managing to fall back with her surviving forces in midst of the explosion.
Though she managed to escape Dainsleif's destruction, Qun'mi is involved in later Byakko missions before she finds herself partially encased in stone. Seeing Machina, she willingly transfers her l'Cie brand and powers unto Machina, her helmet falling off while entering Crystal Stasis. Machina takes up Qun'mi's helmet as he becomes a l'Cie.
- Main article: Dainsleif
Dainsleif is the final boss of Mission 1-1. It is fought twice, first by Odin, then by Ace, Jack, and Seven.
Qun'mi is voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi in the Japanese version. She shares her Japanese voice actress with Elena in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Gun (Female) in Last Order -Final Fantasy VII-, Paine from Final Fantasy X-2, and Aqua from the Kingdom Hearts series.

The Biggest Problem With SOA Isn't Really About SOA
Posted by Randy Heffner on June 22, 2010
I'll soon have a client report out with interesting Forrester data about how SOA adoption continued apace during the Great Recession. In the meantime, Forrester partnered with TechTarget on a different SOA survey, primarily to TechTarget's readers, wherein we asked a wider range of SOA questions. The bottom line of all this data is that SOA is alive and well.
SOA's strong health is not a surprise (at least not to Forrester), but something else very interesting came out of the survey. To the question, "What is the most significant challenge you are facing with your SOA project/initiative?" the top response was not really about SOA. Instead, by a 2:1 margin over the next response, the biggest challenge was, "Designing how to do SOA in an integrated way with other initiatives (e.g., BPM, events, BI, rules, etc.)." (I describe this in more detail in a write-up over at SearchSOA.com -- you have to register to read the full article.)
In other words, people are realizing that, in a multi-technology world, siloed approaches to individual technology areas won't cut it. This is the fundamental insight driving Forrester's development of Digital Business Architecture (see Forrester report) and Business Capability Architecture (go to blog post or to another blog post).
Oh and to see more of the data from the TechTarget/Forrester Research State of SOA Survey for 2010, see this write-up by SearchSOA's Matt DeBarros.

Got myself into a craft project and since I've never decoupaged before, I need help. I used Aileens Tacky glue to adhere pictures, also did some hand painting on the project. Now, I need to seal everything. Do I thin glue with water and paint over all??? or go back to the craft store to buy some modge podge to cover. I want to do some antique effect over all. Lastly, what do I use to seal and protect the entire project. Any help would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Just varnish or shellac the whole thing, if you want to antique the whole thing try a cracklelure technique, it kind of makes fine cracks appear all over, or stain the varnish with paint (dark brown would be good) for that aged varnish look. And the choice of varnish depends on if the piece is for outdoor or indoor use. And try to get yourself a book or two on the subject of ageing or paint effects they will probably give you some insight to creating those techniques at a cheaper price than those ready made from the stores. I paint murals and stuff and it still amases me what you can do with paint. Have fun:) Marv |

Dee, I always just use modge podge for the glue & the sealer. One product does it all. :-) Sandi |
Thanks Marv and Sandi, I tried the regular varnish and got a sick headache even with a mask on and a fan. Since I already have everything glued on my project, I went to the hardware/paint store and picked up some water based Polycrylic semi-gloss finish to try. Michaels is quite a ways from me and if this finish makes me sick, will try the podge. |
Hi I am desperately trying to find podge modge in Turkey but I don't know any brand names and it makes my search for the product more difficult as many crafts shops here don't understand what I am looking for. Could you suggest me any brands of modge podge. If I am not able to find any modge podge, is there any alternative product that can replace modge podge ? Your suggestions will be highly appreciated. Meryem YILDIZ |
Meryem YILDIZ I tried the Mod Podge by Plaid Enterprises, Inc., made in USA. The Mod Podge was okay, but some of it peeled off, so I probably did something wrong. I have also heard that white Elmer's glue works just as well. The next project, will be done outside, with plenty of ventilation, so I can use varnish or shellac to finish. |
White Elmers Glue can also be described as casein glue. |
I have always used Modge Podge as a glue and final coating on decoupage and ceramic hand painted surfaces. It is non-toxic (not like nasty, toxic, varnish or shellac) and water based, so the clean up is easy. I recently purchased Outdoor-Indoor Gloss by Plaid( Acrylic Enamel), also water based, and am looking forward to trying it. Has anyone used this product? |
Just to offer another suggestion.......I have found Plaid's Royal Coat to be supperior to Mod Podge. It also comes in a "antique" color that tints the paper you are using. There is also a product by US ArtQuest named Perfect Paper Adhesive. It is archival, no smells, both glue and sealer. Durable yet flexible film and dries transparent. Water soluble and water resistant when completlely dry. |
I've used Mod Podge and have trouble with finished projects sticking together after they have dried. I've let them dry very well and have some things several years old and they still stick together if stacked on top of each other. I've had the same problem with water based varnish. Any ideas? |
I have been using Plaid brand Mod Podge. The directions say to eliminate the tackiness, although I don't have that problem, after completely dry apply a clear acrylic sealer over the Mod Podge. I believe slightly watered down Elmers white glue would work about the same as Mod Podge. JO |
- Posted by angelfairy z10 FL (email@example.com) on Tue, Jun 22, 04 at 16:02
I've found that without a clear acrylic sealer over either of those products, if they get wet they turn a milky white and look and feel like wet glue so definitely seal after using these decoupage products. |
HI, I am new on here. I need help with my project that I started for my kids bathroom. I bought a ceramic set, trash can, toothbrush holder ect... I went to walmart and asked them what I needed to do to apply some Pottery Barn Appliques to them. They told me to use Mod Podge to apply them and that is what I did I applied 6 coats to each and then they told me to use a clear acrylic sealer. I used the Plaid Acrylic sealer Gloss and it has been a week and they still feel tacky. When I pick them up you can see my fingerprints on them. I followed the directions on how to apply. Can Anyone help and tell me what I need to do to get rid of the tackiness? Thanks! ttr917 |
Give me Royal Coat any day!! Especially in Florida's humidity, Mod Podge just won't dry - ever. cora |

I would just like to say how pleased I am with my purchase. I received it a few days ago (it shipped really quickly after I ordered) and was skeptical, as I am with every body jewelry purchase I make. I have a terrible allergy to nickel and most times,even when I order supposedly "high quality" (and sometimes very expensive) 316lvm sss jewelry from other sites, within 20 minutes of wearing it, I have terrible swelling and the other nastiness associated with an allergic reaction. I've been wearing your jewelry for about 3 days now and haven't had one problem yet. I am so happy I found you guys and now have a place where I can get truly high quality jewelry that I don't have to be afraid of wearing. Thank you so much.

Professor Bejan is the author of 24 books and over 500 peer-reviewed articles. He is ranked among the 100 most highly-cited authors worldwide in engineering (all fields, all countries). He has received 16 honorary doctorates from universities in 11 countries, and numerous other awards. His research areas of interest include thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, convection, porous media, he has achieved fame recently for developing the constructal theory of design in nature. He has written highly-referenced books in all these areas. While we would be honored to have him give a graduate seminar in any of these areas, a seminar on constructal theory and employing it to explain design in nature (biology, geology, thermodynamics, animal locomotion) will be fascinating. Perhaps, we can persuade him to give a couple of seminars: the main one on constructal theory, and another one on thermodynamics. He will be an outstanding speaker on any topic.

text: :?: I was doing well for about a week and totally flew off the wagon. This always happens to me. I am now getting extremely obese and I cannot stand it. I dont know how I let myself get this way. Well I do know but I cannot believe I did. I now have to try and chg 10 years of bad eating and not excersizing. Im going to need some help and a lot of advice. The girls from my job suggested that I try something easy for breakfast like ww food or healthy cereal or oatmeal. And stick with lean cusine for lunch. i enjoy those. and then for dinner just use portion control on healthy dinners. I was thinking of keeping a lean cuisine tray and using it. It looks good on paper though and then I try and start but I fail.

Anthera Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ANTH:US) declined the most in New York trading since its March 2010 initial public offering after saying its experimental lupus drug didn't meet the goal of a clinical test.
Anthera fell 67 percent to 91 cents at 9:56 a.m. New York time, the biggest intraday drop since it first offered shares to the public. The results of the mid-stage trial show the medication, known as blisibimod, acted differently on patients depending on the severity and type of their disease, meaning additional studies will need to target a certain group of patients, the Hayward, California-based company said in a statement yesterday.
Anthera's blisibimod trails GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK)'s Benlysta, which was approved in the U.S. last year as the first new drug in 52 years for lupus, an autoimmune disease. Benlysta is the main reason for Glaxo's takeover bid for Human Genome Sciences Inc., which helped develop the medicine and splits the sales and profits with the London-based drugmaker.
"This is obviously very good news for Benlysta's sales potential," said Jose Aymami, a fund manager at Merchbanc in Barcelona who holds Human Genome shares.
The company said it plans to move blisibimod into the final stage of clinical trials usually needed for regulatory approval.
